All 10 fingers of the candidate must be captured at the point of registration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo combat the menace of examination malpractice, the board has taken full advantage of technology by introducing, among others, biometric capturing of a candidate\u2019s 10 fingers during UTME registration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is to ensure that there is a convincing match between the fingerprints captured and those presented by the candidate at the examination venue,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p>The board said that any scenario other than the above was an invitation to examination security breach.<\/p>\n<p>It said the management had scheduled a five-day annual retreat from Sept.18 to Sept. 23 to review and assess its performance in all facets of its operational processes, including the 2022 UTME.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is with a view to appraising the challenges faced and fashion strategies to addressing them, while charting a way forward,\u201d JAMB said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it will no longer conduct mop-up examinations for candidates for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) who are not bio-metrically verified.
